Cats/Crows - first quarter todate, no timeclock.

for the last 5-10 mins all i saw is FIRST QTR.

very poor coverage Channel Seven

Bring Back Nine.

 

[Bell2004]

Actually remembered that Channel 10 2 years ago had problems with the countdown clock and the viewers in Melbourne did not see the countclock until the second half.

Thats right - Melb v BL in 2005, remember that now. R13 or something. Annoying as.

It is not Seven's fault. There is a problem with the timing equipment at the ground.

Bruce explained that there was an issue with their feed, so they had to take the countup clock instead for the first quarter.

10 had to do it for the Sydney v Adelaide game (SCG) in 2004 as well for the entire game for technical problems.

You can't help technical problems, it happens sometimes get over it.

What is most unprofessional though is 10's 'Five minute warning' - the AFL should compell 10 to scrap this.

i agree. its just simply just stopping the countdown clock when there is a stoppage and the countinous clock conutines to run. they do this cos they put more suspense into the game.

I love the Ten 5 minute warning, adds a lot of excitement to it.

Makes it feel like your at the game. Worst thing though is if your team is playing and its close!!!

Should have been at the game. It was my favourite game of all time pretty much.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Ten's "Five Minute Warning" is a pile of shit I'm not at the ground, I want to know exactly how long is left! They only do it so that people watch it until the very end rather than turning over/off once there's only a minute left

Bingo. Brilliant game that, McLean at his best.

And Bruce did explain why they didn't have the countdown clock about 3 times...

Not really, its a good concept. If it is a close game. say your team is winning by a point. it keeps you on the edge. and when the siren does go. you get that rush of adreatanle. its a good idea. but can shit you sometimes

And when you lose?
